It knows the payment has been declined, but it definitely does not look like it's from my bank.

Quite an amusing scam cold caller. They say they are from "Ripple." When asked to provide more information about which company, as there are plenty called Ripple, the caller states, "Why are you looking me up?" - hmm, I wonder why! Deceitful and aggressive tactics are used to try and get through to the MD to sell their phone systems. I have to feel a bit sorry for the woman on the other end who seems to take pleasure in being so abusive over the phone!

Keeps calling and silence on the other end.

Answered and heard a foreign voice. Couldn't understand what they were on about. Likely a scam caller. Hung up and blocked this number.

A lady turned up and put a letter through my door, claiming I owe £293.25 to Lowell. I checked my credit history, and there is nothing corresponding to that. My partner then looked up the number and found out it was a scam. We have this woman on our Ring doorbell.

Claimed to be from Virgin Money. He had the correct last four numbers of one of my VM cards but the wrong name. He asked me what my balance was; not a very convincing scammer. I cancelled the card in question.

A foreign-sounding gentleman said we needed our meters changing and was from the National Grid. He said our readings were very high. I explained they were not, as I had a smart meter. He continued to insist it needed changing. He also sent an email requesting a meter reading and a copy of the last invoice. I refused all requests and cut him off. He called my team again, but as they had been briefed, they ended the call. It was clearly not the National Grid; both the number and email were incorrect. He probably wanted information to facilitate some sort of scam.

Garrod Associates are also using a mobile number. I was cold called a couple of days ago. They sounded very slick and professional, but they are on a fishing exercise for details. Don't fall for it.

Received a message asking me to confirm receipt of a parcel from Temu. The number quoted does not match any of my orders, and hence I have to conclude that this is a delivery scam. Number blocked!

Scam email received from [email protected]. It informed me that the HSBC app had been set up on a new device and asked me to contact this number if I hadn't set it up on a new device. It arrived a month after the email date. Just look at the email address it was sent from; it is not an HSBC address. The email has been forwarded to [email protected].

It was a young lad at the end of my phone. He said I had called him, which I did not. I told him that as I don't know any young lads, I knew I did not call him. He put the phone down after that.

This number keeps calling me.

Scam call about life insurance reviews. Reporting to be Life Protect.

Rang me from number 01970 294178 and cut off the call when I picked up. I rang back from my mobile to find out who they were and why they were ringing me, and they gave me some old rubbish about energy efficiency, then cut me off when I asked them not to call me again.

A Filipino woman said she was from Microsoft Tech and asked if I owned a PC, to which I replied yes. Then she said they had received a report that my PC had been compromised by hackers who had infected it with spyware and a virus. Quickly, I interjected and told her I wasn't worried because all protection was already in place; I'd had all my antiviral vaccines done recently! LOL! She went berserk, swore like a real slapper with a sexually aggressive tone! LOL! I hung up immediately on that note! LOL! Absolutely hilarious...

Scam call trying to get information; they said it was about life insurance.

Sky maintenance scam.

British Red Cross confirming my donation and questions about the fundraiser.

Silent call.

Persistent scammers trying to upsell new iPhone models. I asked them to never contact me, and they repeatedly call even after I hang up.

They sometimes phone from a mobile number 07517097436 but will immediately call back from the 020 number if you hang up, confirming it's a scam. I had a call today from a man with an Asian voice saying the company had gone under because of Brexit and that I had taken out a lifetime protection on that device and was entitled to a £300 refund. He knew some details of my new bank card (I assume it's from hacking online purchase information and finding some of the digits listed) but asked for my CVV number, which I was not going to give him because he claimed he needed the details for my new card. I asked how he had details of my new card then if I had used my previous card. I hung up, and they tried to phone me from this number four more times afterwards, but I didn't answer.

This number rang my landline telephone. When I answered, they didn't disclose who they were and hung up.

I believe it's legitimate. Animal welfare needs to collect members in order to lobby the government more effectively to bring in stronger legislation to punish dog fighters.

I had calls from this company; it appears to be a yacht rental company in Dubai and possibly someone trying to scam my credit card out of £17,000. I had an MBNA code sent to my phone, which I did not authorise.
